Frontendless Rails frontend
summary
Claims that Rails can be full-stack again with concrete tools and examples: uses ViewComponent classes for isolated templates and previews, combines StimulusReflex and CableReady or Turbo Drive/Turbo Frames for realtime HTML-over-WebSocket or AJAX navigation, and pairs Tailwind or CSS Modules for scoped styles. Shows demo apps and cites GitHub/Basecamp plus a year‑old project, explains how form/list/admin UIs and live updates are implemented, and reports this approach runs in production for admin dashboards and typical CRUD interfaces.
